Pumas tie Bellingham in second preseason game

The Kitsap Pumas tied Bellingham 1-1 on Saturday in the team’s
second preseason match. Kyle Johnson scored for Kitsap, which led
1-0 at halftime. Dustyn Brim started in goal for the Pumas, while
Zac Lubin played in the second half.

Coach James Ritchie said he changed his team’s formation in the
second half and did some other experimenting with the lineup.

“This is the time to do it,” he said.

Ritchie said Bellingham scored in the second half on a “badly
defended free kick.”
